iCloud Sync (iOS users only)

 

😁 Why use iCloud Sync?

• It enables you to backup your projects from Over to the Cloud and not just your device. 
• It allows you to sync your projects between multiple devices

✨ Important

• iCloud Sync is only available on iOS
• iCloud Sync is only available to Over PRO subscribers
• iCloud Sync is only available on v5.8.0 onwards
• iCloud Sync needs to be activated in your iOS Settings as well as your Over Settings

💚 How to activate iCloud Sync

Step 1: activate iCloud Sync in your iOS Settings

1. Open your 'Settings’ app
2. Tap your Profile / Apple ID at the top of the page 
3. Then tap 'iCloud'. 
4. You will see a list of Apps using iCloud. 
5. From, make sure that 'Over' is listed and toggled on - showing green 💚. 

Step 2: activate iCloud Sync in your Over Settings

1. Open Over, then tap the Projects tab at the bottom right of the screen
2. Tap the 'Settings' cog at the top right corner
3. Scroll down to 'iCloud Sync' and toggle it on – it will show yellow 💛

 

 

Note the following: 

 

Once you’ve ensured that you’re logged into the same iCloud account on all of your devices, your projects should sync between them 🎉

 

🧐 What does iCloud Sync do? 

iCloud is a sync solution, meaning that it keeps all your data in-sync across every device you're signed into with your Apple ID.

 

📍NB: If you delete projects from your iPhone, you will unfortunately also be deleting them from iCloud 😭

 

We, therefore, don't recommend iCloud as a way to back up your projects safely.

 

Instead, we recommend using our 'Folders' feature. Once you save your projects to a folder, they'll be backed up and available on your Over account. So, no matter which device you use to log in to Over on, your projects will be there!

 

📂 To save your project to a Folder: 

1. From the project export screen, tap ‘add to folder’ and choose an existing or new folder.
2. OR in the Over app, tap 'Projects' on the bottom right. Long press on a project from your feed & tap 'Add to Folder'. They should then appear in your 'Folders' tab, which can also be found under 'Projects'. Voila! Safe and Sound 🙌
